SUBJECT QUOTE
“"The U.S. Supreme Court upheld South Carolina's current congressional map in 2024," McMaster said. "In light of the Court's most recent decision on the Voting Rights Act, it would be appropriate for the General Assembly to ensure that South Carolina's congressional map still complies with all requirements of federal law and the U.S. Constitution."”

VERDICT · TRUE
The U.S. Supreme Court did uphold South Carolina’s congressional map in 2024 (rejecting a challenge under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in *Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP*). McMaster’s statement that the Court upheld the map is factually correct, and his suggestion that the General Assembly ensure continued compliance with federal law and the Constitution is a normative recommendation, not a factual claim to be verified.

VERDICT · TRUE
The U.S. Supreme Court did uphold South Carolina's 2022 congressional map in its June 2024 decision Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, reversing a lower court's ruling that the map was an unlawful racial gerrymander. Therefore, McMaster's statement that the Court upheld the map in 2024 is accurate.

VERDICT · FALSE
The U.S. Supreme Court did not uphold South Carolina's congressional map in 2024. In fact, the Supreme Court remanded the case back to lower courts in 2023, and lower courts found that the map likely violated the Voting Rights Act, requiring South Carolina to draw a new map.
